Acer Aspire One AO751h -- Linux?

[ApacheChief]

I'm having some trouble finding out how well linux runs on this guy.

Which distro (Ubuntu Netbook?) runs on this sucker? Are there drivers for everything? Can you change trackpad sensitivity?

The 8 hour battery life, big keyboard, and high resolution are looking mighty good.

Doesn't run well; video drivers for the GMA500 are a completely mess.

Windows 7 seems like a nice option, never tried it though. The main reason I want linux on my netbook was a terminal -- I just want to get used to all the commands, they're so useful for development. But, I just remembered about Powershell last night, so problem solved

7 I hear is very fast.
I'll know Tuesday (assuming UPS delivers on time). Just make sure you use the right GMA500 drivers:
